You are off to a good start Marsha. I love how you have just gleaned the essence of the program. Sometimes I see folks making it way too complicated.

I find that I have to keep my starchy carbs to 2-3 serving a day in order to lose weight. If you find you aren't dropping weight that's where i would look first.

I don't drink ilk. It seems to sloooooooow down my weight loss. But cheese, cream and yogurt aren't a problem for me. It varies from person to person though.

I think SB is a healthy way to feed the family. Have you seen SugarBusters for Kids? You can get it at the library. Good ideas for feeding little ones good healthy smart carb food.

I keep fruit and string cheese and yogurt on hand for my grandbaby. And I am experimenting with some new cookie and muffin recipes that use fruit juices as the sweetening agent (no artifical sweetner). So far they look promising.
